Ahhhhh. The weather is finally decent I can go out and enjoy a litt................

I never understood the ppl who take the time to come to the airport 3 hrs before their flight only to have one bag be overweight, they obviously packed early with plenty of time to get it right in their house, is there some sort of sick pleasure in having 400 ppl watch you sort through all the dirty laundry and garbage you packed!??

Okay. First off, you clearly don’t know the pressure to get there 3 hours early. It can get intense. 
And about the coffee machine. It’s duty free! That means no tax!! 

Bein Hazmanim....... oh cr*p! More triggers, more free time perfect for lustiness (is that a word??? ya know what I just don't give a d**n). All these happy and joyful friends ready to open their perfect Pesach car cleaning buisnesses (oh you want us to vacum too...that'll be another 50 smackers, $75 more if you want us to use the spray) while I get to wallow in self pity slaving away on all fours cleaning a house I hanvn't been to in a year hoping to stay sober for another day.
I won't even have access to GYE over bein hazmanim...what a mess

The great R'Eerie couldn't just leave the grouchery as a place to grouch, just had to throw an eitza in

Just wanted to give you another thing to grouch about

This has to end. Enough already. 

The place where I usually daven maariv is a minyan factory ish (which is to say that they have official times for tefillos, but if there are enough inpatient folks hanging around, they can go for it). (Most people daven Nusach Sfard, which rocks. Just by the way.) But there are some chevra  who take the middle road- they go to a designated place, then start before the official time. Seriously not ok. Legit. I mean, especially with maariv being done Sfard, you can get there a minute after the start time and still catch Barchu. But these schmendricks. Because they can’t friggin wait just a measly minute, they mess me over. Gotta wait for the next minyan. 

Schmendricks. *shakes head in disdain*

Oh, so that old grouchy grump was you?!?!?! now I know where to look out for ya

I gave the ש״ץ such a look of disgust, like “dude, why?”. Kinda wanted him to grovel and melt into the floor. Don’t think it affected him much, though. 
Oh, well. Just another thing to Grouch about.

Peach is coming!! In two weeks!!!

Everything in this post sounds just about average.

Just about average??!!

What kind of fineshmecker can afford a car cleaning service?!

I haven't started cleaning either, but I'm not grouching. No, baruch hashem I can't afford a house so it's very easy to clean my tiny apartment despite all my amazing beautiful kinderlach I am so #BLESSED with tracking crumbs literally everywhere.

I sit corrected. (I’d say “stand”, but I’m sitting when writing this Grouch.) The kids get stuff everywhere. I’d say “they get crumbs everywhere”, but those aren’t really an issue, per say. 
We got a car a few weeks ago, and already have to de-חמץ-afy it. 

Oh, and did I mention life hasn’t paused?

iyh2023 wrote on 28 Mar 2025 14:46:

Oh. So that’s how you’re playing it, eh? 
And since did a Grouch have to be above “average” to be posted?
